It is more than a parade, it's a community project that has involved thousands of participants for the last 13 years, including 40 community groups, bringing 15,000 spectators onto the streets in 2017.

Despite this huge success, the project is depending on donations to happen. Your contributions will help us to facilitate free open workshops to the community.
